Lions and Tigers and Bears, OH MY! We went to the Wildlife Park, a place where most of the animals roam free, and we're the ones in the cages! It took a while for the kids to warm up to the idea, but eventually they were having a great time!

|
|
| We promise they aren't going to get you! |
 |
|
|
| Everyone was a little nervous about being so close to the animals. |
|
|
|
| When it was an animal who wouldn't bite, we had the chance to feed them. |
|
|
|
Brett, are you a giraffe!? |
Wave bye-bye to the fishies! |

needs a drink of water. |
